The Tower Of Forex - Terminology To Reach Each Other

God came down from the heavens to see the Tower of Babel, being unhappy with what he saw God separated the people using foreign language as the barrier. Then here comes terminology another language used amongst the masses of foreign exchange. A language easily used within the Forex community which leaves the non-Forex citizens clueless.
I frolicked in to learn the terminology of the Forex player's world of language and indeed it looked like babble. But for the foreign exchange inhabitants it all makes perfect sense. With shortened phrases, acronyms, and idioms to explain what they need and want during the speeches of exchanges and trades, it is only a language which the traders know best. And it is imperative for any new or experienced Forex civilian to know and be comfortable with the language.
You will be left in the dust not being educated and fully prepped in this speech used to converse with fellow speakers. The journey into a career of a Forex trader can be forgotten if confused by the terminology or not aware of the sayings they use. For now at least.
Forex is the leading financial market of the world and trades all global currencies in real time. To shine in any way in the Forex market the basic language is a must.

2) Bearish- having a general tendency to trade on the short side of a currency pair and having the belief that pair will decrease in price.
3) Going long- the reference to buying a currency pair with the hope that the price will go up.

There are tons of websites, and dictionaries that offer a full range of definitions for the Forex world of language.

If you are not you will be one of the lost souls roaming around not being able to talk to any of your fellow Forex inhabitants. And nobody wants that, do you?
